What about security, Higgiebotham?
This issue is often ignored by half-baked preppers. I had a "Gaia Earth mother" tell that "she would share" the produce from her small farm and criticized me (to the point of finger wagging) that "I should believe in the humanity of my fellow human beings".
She also has a Biden sign on her front lawn...
I can imagine that one day I will find her corpse one day wearing only her Birkenstock sandals.
I told that I understand human nature very well.
I didn't wish her luck.
The basics of security are really easy to understand. It's just that very few implement them.
It's similar to food storage.

I had read an old book from the 1970s that told how to store food according to the Mormons. I bought some food they recommended that could be both stored long term and provide complete protein, enough food to survive for about a year and about 20 5 gallon pails from Sherwin-Williams. To store the food properly, I rented a nitrogen gas cylinder. I put the hose from the cylinder into the bottom of the bucket, put the food into the bucket, then put the lid over it, turned the valve on, which displaced the air out of the bucket with nitrogen until a match would go out when placed near the bucket, pulled the hose out, and snapped the bucket shut. Then put it all in the back of the closet.
I almost forgot to mention. When I returned the nitrogen gas cylinder, the owner of the gas company asked what I was doing with it. I told him. I asked him if anyone had ever rented a nitrogen gas cylinder for that purpose. He said no, not in the 25 years he'd been in that business had he ever heard that.
The basics of food storage are easy to understand and implement, but how many really do it. Not that many.
One thing maybe worth mentioning that is a bit off the beaten track and in my plans. I plan to put what looks like a tool storage shed out back, but it's really going to be a small rental unit. I plan to rent it to retired military or a retired police officer or similar profile at a bargain rate.
I made those types of associations when I was in the house rental business and it worked well. One was with a retired cop mentioned May 4, 2015 who took the doors off properties when he wanted the tenants out. I guess that has to do with security, right?
